This chunin is nothing special... he is just a teacher at the ninja academy. Pretty much trash cannon fodder. But he is a guy I bribe to talk to children about my heroic deeds and such. 

I look at the chunin straight in the eyes and tell him.

"What about the price."

Then the Chunin looks a little nervous and says.

"I think that you know the job I do is very beneficial for you so I think that it should be more expensive"

I just look at him coldly hmmm how to handle this with the best benefits for myself 

Then I just squint my eyes threateningly at him and say.

"Let's negotiate then. I currently pay you 100.000 Ryo a month. That is about as much as a good paying B rank mission Give me a suggestion."

His face then lights up a little and he has to try hard to keep his smile from showing.

"O -Ok so I was thinking 120.000 maybe"

I just look at him what a sh*tty negotiator. And weak willed too but that is the main reason why I chose him too scared to betray me and too afraid to risk anything and likes for other people to think of him in a positive light perfect as a useful tool and a scapegoat.

Then I interlock my fingers and release a minor genjutsu to make him more nervous and make me seem more intimidating. Then I say to him in a normal voice.

"90.000"

The chunin just looks at me confused and says.

"W -What."

Then I just look at his eyes and coldly say to him.

"You go up... I go down.80.000"

Then he starts panicking.

"OK ok I am sorry for bringing it up."

I continue to look at him coldly

"You will get paid 80.000 Ryo this month. I never want to hear about this again or I am going to find someone else." 

I immediately get up without even giving him a chance to answer. I go towards the drinking woman. She has tears in her eyes as she takes another shot of sake. I then sit in front of her. She doesn't even bother to look up. Her hair is disheveled and she smells of sweet sake. 

She is my teacher Tsunade. I look at her outfit. It isn't her jounin outfit. It's her casual green kimono when she looks at my eyes I can see my reflection in them ahhh yes a teacher

...

-Flashback-

-MC age 12-

-2 months after his father's death-

-6:40 AM-

Like always I get up from my bed early, go into the bathroom and look at my face in the mirror brown eyes with a hidden sadness in them and black hair slightly above average in looks.

When I see that sad look into my face I just smile at myself in the mirror. I need to be happy. Mother already has enough problems now. I know that she is worried about our poverty. My brother is only three years old and she has to go to work  she doesn't need to see me sad.

When I look at my smile showing too much teeth I smile in the mirror again this one looks fake then I smile again in the mirror

-10 minutes later-

I come out of the bathroom with a natural happy smile on my face. Then I go towards my school bag and grab it. Then I go into the kitchen and I see my mother who is already in the kitchen cooking food. When she looks at me I smile at her and she gives me a weak smile back

.

Then when I arrive at school. I greet everyone and they greet me back.

I look at Linda and I wave at her then she waves back. I go towards her. Before my father's death I used to joke around and ask her out we are friends. She always used to tell me that she will accept to go on a date with me when I really mean my confession. She is so pretty intelligent and she has a nice personality. Then when I get close and look at her blue eyes while I say to her with a smile on my face.

"How is my princess today."

Since my father's death I haven't asked her out anymore. It would just feel awkward to ask her out since I know that she would pity me and accept I don't want a useless thing like that. I want it to be real. She just smiles slightly and twirls her blonde hair.

"If you keep saying things like that I might just fall for you." 

Then I smirk and say to her.

"If you fall I will catch you."

She just smiles slightly and says.

"Cringe."

When she says that we both laugh at it.

-after school-

As Linda is picking up her stuff she just waved at me and said while smirking. 

"So it seems like the perfect student isn't so perfect anymore is it."

I just smile at her and say.

"I am a bad boy, I will be whatever you like."

She smiles a little and soon her smile drops then she comes close to me and grabs my hands, looks into my eyes and says.

"I know it's been hard on you and your family you know that if you need anything you have me here."

I just smile at her she truly is kind 

'Be good and good things will happen to you.' My mother says I am sure that good things will follow Linda.

...

Then after Lisa goes away and school is finished ms. Johnson opened the door and came into the classroom. She is wearing jeans and a plain white shirt. She has curly black hair and brown eyes. Then when she sees me sitting on my desk. She leaves her bag on the teacher's table.

Then she comes close to me and sits on the chair next to mine. Then she turns around and looks at me in the eyes.

"You were always a straight A student Andy you mustn't let yourself go like this life goes on. I am sure that your father was a good man. He didn't get killed by anyone and didn't leave any grudge behind for your family. He is in a better place now."

I start to tear up a little and she just hugs me comfortably and says to me.

"Every day after school I will stay behind and help you catch up to the others."

Then she grabs my face and makes me look into her eyes. Then she smiles and says.

"You are smart so I am sure that you will surpass them in no time."
